Summary: Winnebago is recalling certain model year 2012 era motor homes, manufactured from July 25, 2011, through August 4, 2011AND built on sprinter/daimler chassis. The supplier of the rear springs rolled the spring eye diameter out of tolerance during production, and then corrected the diameter without heating the parts. This could potentially lead to a crack of the spring eye over time.
Consequence: If a spring eye were to crack, the rear spring could collapse, suddenly upsetting the vehicles handling, which could increase the risk of a crash.
Remedy: Winnebago is working with sprinter/daimler to notify owners. Sprinter/daimler is handling the remedy for this campaign, please see 11V-323. Sprinter/daimler dealers will replace the rear springs as necessary free of charge. The safety recall began on November 30, 2011. Owners may contact sprinter at 1-877-762-8267.
Notes: Sprinter safety recall number is 2011100006. Owners may also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to http://www.safercar.gov.

Has your Winnebago been repaired?

Recalls here come from NHTSA’s records for the model and year. Not every vehicle of a model is included in every recall, and this site can’t see whether a repair has been done. Only a VIN lookup can tell you that.

Check your VIN with NHTSA

NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t show recalls that were already repaired, recalls more than 15 years old, or some small manufacturers’ recalls. A Winnebago dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.
